Sorry for the problems accessing the site this morning. Like many websites, we leverage Cloudflare for CDN and WAF protection. Their platform had a major issue this morning which broke a lot of the internet. It appears to be slowing recovering so hopefully this will be settled soon.

Links that contain invisioncic are from the old Invision platform.

Greetings from down the street...

This was resolved on Friday. If you’re still having problems, clear your browser cache.

Something went wonky with the system editor. I’ve reset it back to system defaults and that seems to have fixed it. I’m boarding a flight back home now so I’ll need to recreate some of our custom buttons and editor configurations later but it should at least let people reply again.

It sounds like the accessibility settings most likely got turned on accidentally. Try pressing Windows + Ctrl + C. You can also go to Settings > Ease of Access (or Accessibility) > Color filters and toggling it to the "off" position.

You can use Command and "0" together (Cmd and Zero keys) to reset the page zoom. Cmd and +/- will zoom in and zoom out (Cmd and plus sign or Cmd and minus sign).

The note was not meant to call out any specific person. During those attacks, tons of people just report each one they see. It's not a huge deal to close a duplicate report, but was just calling it out so individuals have less work reporting and we have less work closing.

Also if you do see a major spam attack, feel free to report just a single post per account. The moderators have a tool that when used will remove ALL content they posted automatically. You don’t need to report each message as that first one once processed will clean up the rest by that user automatically. If you do happen to report multiple from the same account, it’s not a big deal… it just means we have to close that additional report as a duplicate as it will have already been handled. Thanks again for helping keep the site clean and safe!

Greetings! I implemented a change this morning to require new accounts (less than 30 days old) to require moderator approval for new posts in an effort to mitigate some of the recent increased spam attacks. Once a new account has 5 unique pieces of content approved (new topics, replies, etc), they’ll automatically be updated to no longer require moderator approval. Again, this is only being done as a spam mitigation mechanism. I’m not looking to censor new users or prevent discussion. Posts that are not spam and that don’t violate the community guidelines will be approved as quickly as possible. I would just ask that folks remember we have a small team of volunteers who moderate the site and this is a side gig for all of us. So if it takes a little bit of time for us to see/approve a topic, it’s not personal! Thanks! Rob

We never see/use the phone number. It’s used by the merchant provider as part of their automated fraud screening process. The site does not host/store any personal data. If I don’t keep it, it can’t be stolen or be required to turn over on the off chance we should ever get a court order. With that said, I’ll see if our merchant provider can add HK to the country list!

It depends on how the image was submitted. If the image was uploaded, it's handled differently than someone who links to a remotely hosted image.
